What A Day!!!

After four long hours at the mechanic's shop and rental car company this morning (and the shock of how much money we will again be spending to fix one of our vehicles), Hannah and I arrive home with a rental car (after needing to transfer both car seats to two different vehicles while pregnant and trying to be careful enough not to have too many contractions....phew!) just in time to eat lunch before needing to pick Joshua up from school. Upon arriving home from getting Joshua, I receive a statement in the mail from my Ob's office reminding me how much money we still owe for the upcoming birth of our sweet son (yikes!), Hannah has a potty accident on our bedroom floor, Joshua falls on our ceramic tile floor hurting his arm and spilling yogurt all of the floor, Hannah falls and scrapes up her knee pretty well, all the while Hannah is sick with a constant runny nose and horrid sounding cough.....and all this happening within the first hour of us being home.

I quarantined the kids to the couch for a few minutes trying to keep everyone safe from further injury. When I returned, this is what I found....

....sweet Joshua reading his library books and poor Hannah feeling rough enough to fall asleep (She very rarely takes naps anymore. Before I got the camera, she was sitting straight up on the couch fast asleep :)

SO, this is what I gave the kids for dinner tonight. Joshua ate a scrambled egg with his chocolatey cereal. And just for the record, I am not the parent who bought this yummy, sweet cereal for the kiddos :).....

And this was dessert....


Not my best "mom" moment, but chocolate can do wonders for a rough day....

Praying for a better day, yet thankful it wasn't worse (and this sure did make for a fun story to retell :)....
